Northwest Arkansas Community College joined the nonprofit Campus Kitchens Project to launch one of 60 Campus Kitchens, a student-led effort to recover surplus food from campus and use it to prepare healthy meals for the community.

Northwest Arkansas Community College's culinary department wants to reduce hunger in the region by converting food that otherwise would go to waste into nutritious meals.
